"What, the prince of the county?"

In the study, Fang Xuanling explained his intention to visit, and Qin Huaidao exclaimed in surprise, and his face changed.

Fang Xuanling was also surprised by Li Er's sudden change, and vaguely guessed something, but it was not easy to break it, and nodded and said: "Virtuous nephew, the intention of the saint is very clear, your credit is too great, only the king can be commended, this time I came to discuss with you the location of the fief, do you have any plans and plans?" ”

The king needs to be given a fief.

But different levels of kings, fiefs are different, the fief of the county king is a county land, such as Li Ke, at the beginning of the feud was divided into Changsha county kings, the fief was in Changsha, and later the throne was upgraded from the county king to the prince, changed to the Han king.

Above the king of the county is the heir, and above is the prince.

Qin Huaidao was silent for a long time, thinking about Li Er's true intentions.

Fang Xuanling waited for a long time to no avail, and couldn't help but ask: "Virtuous nephew, the saint has already shown his sincerity, you might as well accept it when you see it, after all, it is the saint, occupy the righteousness, and it is not good for you to stalemate, the old man came over by order to ask for your wishes first, and see where the fief is appropriate?" Other county kings don't have this treatment, they are all directly rewarded, and they don't have to choose. ”

Qin Huaidao waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "I refuse!" ”

"What...... Do you refuse? ”

Fang Xuanling's face changed, and he couldn't help but ask, "Why?" ”

"As the old saying goes, eat people with a soft mouth, take people with soft hands, once you are sealed, you must accept the control of the imperial court and obey the dispatch, how can you be so unrestrained and free now? Besides, do you really think that the Holy One is kindly rewarded? Once sealed, the next step will be for me to come forward to solve the problem of lack of salt, if I don't follow, it is disloyal, the court will put the responsibility for the lack of salt on my head, spurned by the people, if it is you, how will you choose? ”

Fang Xuanling had never heard this ancient saying, now was not the time to dwell on this, and said solemnly: "The old man will accept the reward and solve the problem of salt shortage." ”

Qin Huaidao's face was stunned, and he immediately asked with a smile: "Shibo cares about the sufferings of the people in the world, which is admirable, but how do you plan to solve it?" ”

"Uh......"

Fang Xuanling hesitated, what can he do with enthusiasm? The key is to be capable.

After thinking for a while, Fang Xuanling asked rhetorically, "With your talent, you can't solve it?" ”

Qin Huaidao shook his head, not that he couldn't help it, but he didn't want to, a suspicious saint was not worth helping, seeing what Fang Xuanling wanted to say, he waved his hand and said, "Shibo, this matter is over." ”

"But the people in Chang'an City are innocent." Fang Xuanling persuaded unwillingly.

When other people come to persuade him, Qin Huaidao will not see him, but Fang Xuanling is different, he is a good official who sincerely serves the people, such a person is worthy of admiration, not to mention that he is really good to himself, and it is difficult to save face.

Fang Xuanling continued to persuade: "Virtuous nephew, with the old man's understanding of the saint, at most, he will be given the title of county king without real power, and he can enjoy the treatment of the county king, but it will not hurt you, anyway, you don't want to be an official, but it is beneficial, at least the title has gone up, the glory of the ancestors, and the Qin brothers can also smile underground." ”

Qin Huaidao doesn't care about fame, everything he has is in Qinjiazhuang, in Chashan, moving is not a trivial matter, interrupted and asked: "Once I am sealed, what should I do if I go to the fiefdom?" ”

Fang Xuanling's face froze, and he couldn't answer, if the county king was not an official in the court, he had to go to the fiefdom.

Qin Huaidao saw that the heat was almost the same, and he could close the net, and proposed: "Shibo, I won't let you be embarrassed, so let's do it, forget about the king, it doesn't mean much if you have no real power, it's troublesome to carry a name, and the shortage of salt in Chang'an will be solved by the younger generations, starting tomorrow, the department store will sell snowflake salt, twenty wen a pack, no two prices." ”

There are so many things to do in front, and what I am waiting for is the wool gathering at this moment.

The price of 20 wen is not low, usually it is 10 wen, of course, it has recently risen to 20 wen, and it is still ordinary sea salt, and the quality is not as high as snowflake salt.

Of course, more than twenty Wen is a bit of a slap in the face of Fang Xuanling, which will backfire.

Fang Xuanling breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you for understanding the old man's difficulties, if there is no solution, Chang'an City will probably be chaotic, and the old man will not be able to explain to the saint, but it is better not to refuse the matter of sealing the king, and we will discuss it with us old things and help you do it, we can't lose you." ”

After chatting a few words, Qin Huaidao returned to the study after sending Fang Xuanling out of the door, and couldn't help laughing anymore, at the beginning, the four yuan bought out the batch of salt in the imperial court, and later the three yuan bought a large amount of salt from the salt merchants, and the consumption after processing it into snowflake salt was not too large, according to twenty wen per pack, each pack made a net profit of more than fifteen wen, which was a huge profit.

What's more, Li Er, who was beaten with an iron fist of capitalism, confessed to instigation and took the initiative to become king.

Kill two birds with one stone, out of the breath!

After a while, Qin Huaidao suppressed his excitement, and asked Jia Youcai to tell him: "Uncle Jia, vigorously refine the snowflake salt tonight, transfer more manpower, and sell snowflake salt in the department store early tomorrow morning. ”

"Twenty Wen?"

Jia Youcai's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to sell it at a high price, anyway, he was the only one, and praised: "The young master is wise, and the poor quality sea salt dares to sell it for twenty wen, and our such a good snowflake salt should be sold at a higher price, so let's prepare." ”

"Don't worry!"

Qin Huaidao stopped: "The sales point in the industrial park cannot be removed, continue to sell snowflake salt to the people who work, the price remains the same, the people are poor, life is not easy, not to mention that there is a little profit in a pack of four papers, and there is no need to cancel the purchase on behalf of the people, and the relatives bring the old ones, give everyone face, everyone can do things with peace of mind, and it will be easy to recruit people in the future. ”

"I understand, it's to treat it differently, it's our own people who help us do things, it's cheaper, it's equivalent to the internal price, and others are more expensive, but it's ...... Are we still hiring? Jia Youcai suddenly realized.

"Wait for 5,000 people to be familiar with it before recruiting, the more people, the safer we are, the more the court will not dare to touch us, and besides, there are many people and large outputs, and there are several trade routes that are not out of stock, why not recruit? There are at least 20,000 people in the industrial city, and I have asked Brother Xue to expand the factory, dormitory and warehouse, which will be completed in a month at most, and then recruit people. ”

"20,000?" Jia Youcai's face changed, but he quickly became excited, behind the 20,000 people are 20,000 families, and tens of thousands of people's livelihoods are related to Qinjiazhuang.

Thinking of this, Jia Youcai had an epiphany and praised sincerely: "It's still the young master who is wise and far-reaching." ”

After Jia Youcai left, Qin Huaidao buried himself in drawing and carefully studied the steam engine.

The steam engine can form kinetic energy by burning coke or coal, Qinjiazhuang is not lacking, the motor burns diesel, gasoline, etc., there is no in this era, and the electric one cannot be done, but the steam engine can.

In this era, all wooden ships were used to drive sea ships with steam engines, and then ironclad clippers were created across the ocean.

After dinner, Qin Huaidao put down his research, walked with He'er, his daughter and Li Xueyan, rested in the courtyard pavilion tiredly, ate some chilled melons and fruits, and enjoyed himself.

The moonlit treetops and the night breeze blows.

Holding the baby and laughing, the gods do not change on such days.

He'er and Li Xueyan could see that Qin Huaidao liked girls from the bottom of his heart, and he was not like other families who favored sons over daughters, so they were very happy, and their eyes were full of happiness.

After a while, Li Xueyan looked at the surroundings and said softly: "Lang Jun, Xiaoyu went home during the day, and his father asked Xiaoyu to convey a message, saying that the saint had found Yuzhang and asked her to ask you about salt, lift the grounding, and agree to marry in exchange, Yuzhang was worried that you would be embarrassed and refused, and the saint was very angry about it. ”

"The salt matter is settled." Qin Huaidao looked around as he spoke, and after making sure that there was no one, he whispered to explain the matter of dividing the county king and selling salt at a high price, and finally added: "He'er, you will send some more people to the cashier tomorrow, I'm afraid there will be a lot of people who buy it, and it will be of great use to prepare another 100,000 yuan for Yu Chi Baolin." ”

The training is too sensitive, even the person next to the pillow can't reveal it.

He'er is not a curious and eventful person, and she is full of promises.

Li Xueyan was curious, but very smart, and didn't ask, and said with a smile: "Lang Jun, He'er is very busy, I also want to share my worries for Lang Jun, I don't know what I can do?" ”

Qin Huaidao thought for a while and said: "You are in charge of intelligence collection, which is divided into two categories, one is the intelligence of enemies that are unfavorable to the government, such as officials, families, competitors, etc., including neighboring countries; The first is business intelligence, where there is a shortage of food, where there are commodities that cannot be sold, the price geometry, the shortfall, etc., just collect and summarize it for me. ”

Li Xueyan's eyes lit up, she was good at this, and she liked it, so she hurriedly said: "Thank you Langjun for your trust, Yan'er must do a good job, it's just that the manpower is ......."

"Don't worry about manpower, it's ready-made, someone will report to you tomorrow." Qin Huaidao interrupted.

Li Xueyan understood, there was an intelligence network in the house, and he didn't even notice it, it was hidden too deeply, and he was overjoyed, this was a great opportunity.

And the intelligence network is very important, this is a great trust in yourself, whose little lady is qualified to contact the core secrets of the family? What's more, it's still a lady, even if she is an outsider, she secretly swears in her heart that she will never live up to this trust.

At this moment, Li Xueyan's eyes were full of gratitude and love.

It's good to marry the right person!
